Three indices were used for assessing the nutritional status of children namely weight-for-age (WAZ), height-for-age (HAZ), and weight-for-height (WHZ). Data on household food consumption were collected by using the food consumption score (FCS). The household food consumption among the two groups of farmers was significantly different. Farmers plus farm laborers had a slightly better variety of food since they could collect free vegetables and fruits from the fields where they were working as a farm laborers. Household food consumption was significantly associated with the nutritional status of children. But in the group of farmers-only, the correlation between household food consumption and underweight was not significantly associated.

The study revealed that, among different items of consumption, the use of cereals was higher among the households across the gradients. Rural households derived most of their calorie from cereals. Across rural–urban interface, total consumption was relatively higher in urban area (38.44 kg/CU/month) followed by transition and rural areas. The total energy derived from the consumption of different food items was the highest in urban area (2491.90 Kcal/capita/day) followed by transition (2415.82 Kcal/capita/day) and rural area (2383.28 Kcal/capita/day). The households residing in urban area showed higher Simpson Index of Dietary Diversity (0.81) followed by transition (0.80) and rural (0.77) areas. The percentage of food secure households was highest in urban areas (76.25%) followed by transition (63.75%) and rural (58.75%) areas. Regression analysis revealed that education, monthly income of the sample households, and their localization in urban area were significant determinants of food security. The study concludes the prevalence of food insecurity and suggested the need for strengthening existing food security programmes, besides creating awareness among households to move toward balanced diet by diversifying their production, income, and consumption pattern.","PeriodicalId":11511,"journal":{"name":"Ecology of Food and Nutrition","volume":"61 1","pages":"522 - 537"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48081438","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Articles published in this journal focus on foods and food systems in terms of their utilization to satisfy human nutritional needs and improve health and well-being. The journal also publishes articles that examine how ecological, social, and cultural factors influence food availability, choices, and consumption, food cultures, and nutrition. Only a handful of journals publish articles that explicitly address the intersections of food and nutrition, biology and culture, and policy and practice from a holistic and global perspective. It is this kind of scholarship that EFN seeks to promote. The current issue of EFN includes eight articles based on studies conducted in Brazil, Côte d’Ivoire, El Salvador, Ethiopia, Haiti, India, Kenya, the Mediterranean Islands, the Republic of Palau, and the United States. These articles focus on a range of topics, including household food insecurity, prenatal maternal health, child nutrition, changing food consumption patterns, and determinants of dietary awareness and food behavior. The article by Pedrero-Tome and colleagues presents the results of a crosssectional study exploring the relationship between household food insecurity and the nutritional status of schoolchildren in rural El Salvador. The authors used the Food Security Perception Survey to collect data on 143 households and performed anthropometric measurements in a sample of 334 schoolchildren. The authors report that anthropometric failure was observed in nearly 38% of the schoolchildren and nearly 59% of the sample households experienced food insecurity. In their article, Suri and colleagues present the results of a cross-sectional study on the socio-demographic determinants of nutritional status in preschool children (3–6 years) in north India. The authors collected data using a 24-hour dietary recall and food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) and anthropometric measurements on a sample of 350 preschoolers. The results of this study suggest that the majority of children consumed less than 60% of the nutrient intake recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO). Furthermore, family income, the number of siblings, and birth order were associated with dietary insufficiency, and stunting and wasting were more prevalent among girls as compared to boys.
